every year. thank you so much. the airline looking at waiving change these to deal with the wintery mix watching out holiday week for a good part of the nation. federal reserve chief alan greenspan talks with fox business about pumping cash into the economy with the central bank's next move. the minimum wage debate rages on. will let help or hurt those most in need? new jersey goes online with gambling. garden state and maybe others? that and more this hour. connell mcshane is here on markets now. ♪ connell: great to have you back after a couple days. dagen: always wondering if i am going to get arrested when i fly. connell: of bad weather. dagen: i'm made it through the needles.
11:01 am
connell: have happened to you. dagen: lovely people, lovely flight attendants on american airlines. love the people. connell: i am glad you don't focus only on the negative. stocks of two which is positive as we have mixed economic news which we will talk about with bob schiller, alan greenspan, peter barnes, nicole petallides starts us off from the floor of the stock exchange. nicole: you see the dow jones industrials up 20 points. we haven't broken through yesterday's highs. we had an incredible run, weeks of gains, an incredible year. the dow was up 23%, the s&p up 27% and the nasdaq up 30%. the run continues and some names on the dow better hitting highs said disney, american express, a traveler to name a few. take a look at tiffany, all-time highs for tiffany, a higher quarterly profit in asia, that is where way saw the strength for sales and raise full-year earnings per share numbers
11:02 am
looking good peer up 7%. dagen: to the storm that could wreak havoc on holiday travelers across much of the nation, carrying a mix of rain, ice and snow depending on where you live you'll get one of the three. we will hear from maria molina who says it is picking up steam as it heads northeast raising concerns for many. of the forty-three million travelers who will be heading out over the thanksgiving holiday. airlines like usairways and adults are thinking of waiting change fees and that is where we bring in mike boyd, the head of boyd group international who watches the airline business for a living. how bad is the storm going to beat for the airline industry for people who are flying? >> people flying, it is a one of vacation for many of them and one day. if you miss thanksgiving you can't redo it next week. the airline will not be as bad as you might think, it will be like any other storm.
11:03 am
there are fewer people flying over this period then there would be otherwise because saturday and friday are light days. it won't help airlines' but it won't be like having black friday close the local malls. dagen: not like the skies are not like as you point this out, the skies are not like the jersey turnpike where all of a sudden there are that many more cars, there are not many more planes, fewer flights scheduled over this thanksgiving than last year. >> 1/2% fewer, the same number as feet. it will be the same as we saw but somehow or other the good lord always gives us a snowstorm over a holiday. dagen: absolutely. the problem if you are traveling is amateurs travels that time of year, people who don't do this as part of their jobs so the headaches the traveler feels is assuming your flight isn't even canceled, right when you go through security at the airport. >> it is really tough. there are people who don't fly a
11:04 am
lot. when you have these downturns in the weather, not a lot of people are left to help you. you are dealing with a kiosk. when things go down you can't talk to a kiosk, you go to a phone and you are talking to someone who barely speaks english. can be a lot of fun when you have a white and three kids and a diaper bag. dagen: what is the best way to handle a change like that if you are in the airport and your flight is delayed or has been cancelled? are you better off using your smart phone and going on line to do it or trying to call somebody or trying to get into one of the airline lounges with a credit card? they can make changes. that is where you will find people. >> most people don't belong to those and that is the problem. the big thing is dell online and do-it-yourself. we have read book you for next wednesday so you got to go on line and do-it-yourself. dagen: with waiving of the change fees that has no
11:05 am
financial impact on the airlines because you are essentials repeat the who are changing their flights wouldn't be changing their flights if not for bad weather so that is revenue they wouldn't see any way. >> i have a problem with airlines. you can change with in this period of time. it is a holiday. if i missed holiday let me refund the tickets and most airlines in not refund the ticket with, service fee. it is big of them to do this but the reality is you are still going to get financially it. dagen: one last thing. if you think you are going to get delayed or canceled and you are flying tonight or tomorrow and it looks like you are going to have problems should people just not go and tell the family sorry, i will see you over christmas? >> that would be my recommendation. i can't think of anything more ghastly than being stuck in chicago o'hare during a snowstorm. staying home you are safe, other thanksgivings coming that is what i would recommend.
11:06 am
dagen: taking a shower in the bathroom. you know what i am saying? thank mike boyd. connell: now to talk about the economic data that came out today. yesterday the headline was pending home sales hitting a ten michelob but today case schiller, that they are from september reveals home prices jumped over 13% from september of 2012, fastest been since february of 2006. robert schuller's co author of that indictment, recent member of the nobel prize in economic science. nice to have that nobel prize attach to your introduction as it will be forever. that is a good start. it is great. let me go first of all to this data today and ask the question this way. prices are up. are they? any concerns they may be rising too quickly? a discussion on markets now about home price affordability. any chance these gains as they are coming drive buyers away at some point?
11:07 am
>> home buyers in most places are relatively low. affordability is still ok. my concern about the persistence of these upswings is concerned we are more investor oriented market. i don't know that the momentum that used to be so stable or will continue to be stable could break. connell: what would that look like? this money that is coming in, not all of it but a lot of foreign money investing as opposed to buying homes to live in, a problem that could get extremely lovely, what do you mean? >> they could go down. connell: nobel prize to get that right. don't know what that looks like. >> we are in uncharted carrots sorry. we never had this kind of bubble that we went through. now we have a new emerging
11:08 am
investor class. i don't know if i am convinced this is going to work or is that good a thing. is an experiment they are in now. they could be out in another gear. connell: we were talking about the past, present or future. we had a big bubble in housing. is there concern there's something else going on here? marbles are being formed? is that what you are saying? >> it looks like it in some cities. las vegas, it is up 30% in the last year. even more, 40% as you go back to the bottom in the spring of 2012. that is bubble territory. connell: a bobble in las vegas real-estate. >> the problem is the prices are not high yet in las vegas so it is not a plastic bubble. and i don't know how to predict
11:09 am
it. when you say you are rephrasing what i said to be a bubble in las vegas, i wasn't really going to use that word. i think it is a funny price increase, hard to know where is going next. connell: any cities that concern you other than vegas when you see the price increases? >> san francisco for example. in san francisco, condo prices are to their peak. they are almost there. in the next month or two they pass it, the peak was in 2006, a long time ago. in real terms they are not so high. connell: you will never guess who the next guest on the show coming up after you. do you know who it is? alan greenspan. somebody had a book. listen up 51 to keep your ear piece in.
11:10 am
bob schiller, thank you very much. >> my pleasure. dagen: nobel prize winner. i love bob. former federal reserve chief alan greenspan says very little of the central bank's bond purchasing program filtered out into the economy. connell: peter barnes joins us with his big interview with former fed chairman, exclusive interview, take it away. peter: first on fox business, he is pitching, trying to sell his new book the map and territory, lessons learned from the financial crisis and the future of forecasting. got into the current monetary policy. had to ask about that. how does the fed get out of this quantitative easing, the $3 trillion in bonds purchased over the last five years to help the economy, help interest rates, here is what he said. >> people at the federal reserve are fully aware of the issue of
11:11 am
taxing and problems are resolved. the one thing that is important to recognize, however, is that very little of any of the q es have actually filtered out into the economy with the exception of the very heavy purchases of mortgage-backed securities, long-term interest rates down because remember what happens when of a federal reserve expands its balance sheet to create reserves in the hands of one or more commercial banks. so that we had this huge increase in so-called excess reserves which are deposits for example by jpmorgan that the federal reserve bank of new york and all other commercial banks, depository institutions among the 12 reserve banks, the issue is that these reserves are held
11:12 am
with no capital requirements to getting 25 basis points interest. 1/4%. all they need to do is punch a few electronic buttons which transfer the funds from the federal reserve to their balance sheet. >> but that gets complicated. in an interview we talked about how this works and he said he didn't want to discuss current fed policy because former chairs is not to talk about the current chairs and folks like janet yellen coming in and ben bernanke leaving but i asked about bubbles, irrational exuberance in the stock market. he said actually he thinks it will be overstating the case to say there is a bubble in the stock market based on his analytics but i asked whether we have a bubble in the bond market. he said he does not have in his portfolio any 30-year bonds. he thinks interest rates are going up as the fed tries to
11:13 am
manage this. connell: interesting. a lot more throughout the day from peter barnes. >> the whole thing will be on foxbusiness.com. connell: thanks, peter barnes with alan greenspan. dagen: why a 30-year bond if you are not going to live that long? connell: is that the way we're going to go with this after that interview? dagen: unless you think there are price appreciation involved. connell: don't be so morbid. dagen: happy times. not as advertised. like many of those black friday shopping deals, not good bargains at all. connell: the city of washington d.c. pushing ahead with a measure to raise the minimum wage. always a great economic debate aimed directly at walmart, we will get into that later in the hour. dagen: this storm making it through the eastern part of the united states, mario molina has your forecast.

connell: dagen mcdowell was talking about the storm moving east impacting the nation. after what we sought western earlier in the weekend the big thing, the interruption of holiday travel plans. dagen: if you are not willing to stay at home you better listen to maria molina, are meteorologist at fox business in the weather center with more. >> you are absolutely right. many people at this point stay home, that is premature cross the northeast. if you are not leaving any time soon i do not recommend travelling as we head into tonight or early tomorrow morning across the northeast. the center of the storm is across the southeast. we have been talking about snow fall being a concern, strong
11:24 am
wind and heavy rain in coastal areas, but we are also seeing tornadoes possible with this storm and we have a tornado watch right now and effect across the florida panhandle including panama city and an hour or so ago we had a tornado come confirmed with debris and damage reported a cross-section of the florida panhandle so plea here. we are talking dangerous weather. tornado warning in effect, there could actually be a tornado on the ground. if you live here you need to seek shelter immediately. there could be a tornado on the ground. severe weather including damaging winds in excess of 50 m.p.h. and tornadoes possible across the carolinas, george and the states of florida. otherwise a lot of precipitation with the storm even though the centers across the southeast, we're seeing snow coming down in pennsylvania, heavy rain across george and tennessee, the timing on the worst of the storm today
11:25 am
across parts of the southeast and overnight tonight into tomorrow, we will be seeing the winds picking up and snow and rain in the northeast so major delays expected and for thanksgiving the storm is out of here, much more behind it. connell: dangerous stuff in some parts of the country, thanks, mario molina. dagen: changing gears, let's make money with charles payne, talking to us about common mistake people make when investing. connell: we started yesterday, she was off yesterday, i love when charles goes professor pen on us. dagen: think you for sending a didn't watch the program. connell: maybe you did. so people say stock is cheap and often don't know what they're talking about. charles: that word blows me away, cheap. they based on what? the stock price. up $1, it is cheap. the justification for this is
11:26 am
often when i ask people, look at portfolios and the reason it came up these we had an amazing year and we're getting more and more subscribers coming don doing all the mistakes they always made. i looked at a woman's portfolio, she and $18 stock and everything else under $10 and i have limited funds. connell: they get a angry at you, you get angry back. charles: i want people to do with the right way and the thing is my rule of thumb is most stocks under $10 are overvalued. most stocks over $100 are undervalued. sox going down, when they break on the downside, i never touched them. maybe three years later or four years later i am looking at 20 years later but i am telling you there are certain things that happen and it reflects a fractured company. these factors are not small fractures. they are gigantic fundamental problems but ultimately if you had $1,000, stock trading for
11:27 am
$1,000 and you buy one share of that i would rather see someone unknown that than a thousand shares of a one dollar stock that missed the earnings report, the ceo, an accounting scandal, it is cheap, cheap. connell: price to earnings sales or whatever the value is. charles: this might be the number one mistake a lot of novices may, the notion i have limited funds, i want a cheap stock and i am loading up on and $2 stock that used to be a $30 stock. dagen: a buck or less is probably a scam. connell: at that to your list. charles: i can't argue with that. you are probably right. dagen: better hold your nose, kitty litter. connell: see you later. dagen: better way to change your health plan on line. we will show it to you coming up. connell: the debate over raising the minimum wage front and center in the nation's capital. that is ahead.
11:28 am
11:29 am
11:30 am
11:31 am
dagen: it is the bottom of the hour, already fired up for this choosing a health care plan online does not have the headache created by the government. there are other options. and walmart in the middle of the minimum wage debate. this time in our nation's capital. chris christie up and running with online gambling. connell: lets go back to nicole petallides at the new york stock exchange taking a look at the big movers. nicole: i have a winner and a loser. food and technology. talking about or me hormel. people are eating at home more. tough economy, improved revenue.
11:32 am
really benefiting from the acquisition of skippy's peer butter. nuance profit, their forecast has been weaker than expected. by the way, up 5.5%. they have the series feature on apple tried to hold onto higher pricing and fend off deals because they tried to hold onto the higher pricing. back to you. dagen: there is a new health care website in town. three men from the bay area launching a cleaner, easier version allowing customers to find health plans based on the zip codes. based on what we know so far, to liven up and running for a couple of weeks. connell: joining us from the bureau in l.a. to talk about this. >> one of the biggest complaints about the government website is
11:33 am
all the steps you have to go through. just to be able to window shop and compare insurance plans and costs. three young engineers came up with an easy fix at least for that problem, take a look. >> there is no doubt people are frustrated. >> well president obama has been doing damage control, they brainstormed and launched a website that lets users quickly compare health insurance plans. >> we are a comment to healthcare.gov. will allow you to browse and explore your options without going the pain of signing up. >> they added a user-friendly interface, type in your zip code, family member ages, whether you smoke and wallow. >> i had gone knowing nothing about my options to know exactly what plans exist, what subsidies i can get and what the premiums are for my family.
11:34 am
>> from there they can enroll at healthcare.gov or with insurance company. tens of thousands of people have clicked on the sign-up online tab. there is no advertising and these guys are not making money, for them it is a public service. >> nine months ago wanted to focus on health care in general and really have the biggest impact on society that i could possibly have read this is a great outlet for that. >> a couple of glitches are being worked out. some zip codes do not return any information. the glitches are being ironed out. unlike a lot of people, they give big props to the federal website, healthcare.gov and to the contractors who did all the legwork to gather the data and make it public. connell: thanks. dagen: for more perspective, editor at large for canada's
11:35 am
national post and author of merger of the century. what do you make of the problems we are suffering here? >> i think the story is the one that gets all the noise and it should, this kind of a mess and i welcome this idea where all of these entrepreneurs come up with ideas to do it better, faster and so on. that is one story. i don't know about you, but my experience is rollout the seventh circle of hell. i've had my toyota, my tires, it is really difficult stuff. this is a big contract, a huge deal. that has to be fixed. the second story is you are making steps as a nation to match what other rich nations are doing. that is provide basic health care for everybody.
11:36 am
connell: i think it would be fair to say the connotation with government involvement is a negative one with the way the rollout has gone and other things, so are you here to defend that? speak of the system is different. europe has a really good hybrid system with a basic public health care for everybody and you can do à la carte. think of it like public education for all, but you can go to a private school and get stuff à la cart. you still have to support the public school system. canada is totally monopolistic. cosmetic surgery is paid for, eyeglasses, dentistry. if there is something wrong with your mouth, that is covered. dagen: essentially single-payer health care, the hospitals run by the government, the doctors are reimbursed.
11:37 am
>> the doctors negotiate fees like in the private sector and other countries. the hospitals are now all commit all and that they weren't in the beginning. there's no insurance companies involved, so the only payer for all these services are governments. the government pay for everything. they did the negotiations but the doctors run the system. dagen: one of the issues here as we have single-payer, it is called medicare. we are paying for it today. there is a hole in it. it dries up in 13 years roughly based on the trustees report. i think one of the issues people had with moving ahead with the health care system is we had one on the verge of being broken and needs fixing and we are not willing to do that now we are trying to extend something to the rest of the population. >> your health care system is the worst in the world.
11:38 am
cost twice as much as everybody else's per person. rich people in a hurry, if he wants to get something done in a hurry or if you want to go to the mail. we have clinics that have a lot of american patients. highly ranked for certain cancer research, we have a hospital for sick children that does all kinds of things. dagen: wait times in canada have been longer. americans have some distrust of government when it comes handling their health care. >> it is tricky to provide basic health care when your system is already too expensive so that has to be something on the cost side eventually. it might happen if you get all the healthy people, young, healthy people signing up paying premiums. it will bring everybody else's costs down. connell: we generally like people with canada like rob ford.
11:39 am
>> he put us on the map. connell: i wouldn't know abouu that. speaking of health care, might be some issues there. a good discussion. thank you a lot. we are not merging with you, you're on your own. an interesting book, all the same. interesting debate on the economics of things. minimum wage debate is back and walmart finds itself in the middle of it in washington, d.c., coming up. dagen: online gambling a reality in jersey. big money for the west state. lawmakers are hoping that will be the case. connell: more peter barnes interview with alan greenspan. peter has no comments coming your way at the top of the hour on "markets now" reedit keep it here.

11:44 am
you say what? this is just a local issue for washington or do you think this is something that will be gaining steam in other parts of the country? >> i think it will be gaining steam. this is responsible and legitimate problem. you've had such a weak recovery with such poor income growth, looking for a raise one way or another. that has fueled the minimum wage. the problem as it does not effectively solve the problem and in fact causes a lot of harm. it is not just walmart. most of the minimum wage workers are in small businesses, 40% of them under 50 employees, that is where you get the big impact especially affects hiring. an economy with weak job growth to curb hiring is counterproductive move. dagen: walmart average full-time associate and hourly worker makes a little under $13 per
11:45 am
hour according to all start the mac walmart research. >> walmart is not a minimum-wage company. it is a great misnomer to suggest it is. also offers health benefits and often has urban legends, neither of those is true. the real problem is a lot of small business with minimum-wage workers and if you raise the minimum wage, you hurt hiring in those small businesses. work with don suggest if you went to a $10 minimum-wage nationwide, you would kill 2.3 million new jobs. that is a big harm in an economy not generating enough jobs to get us down anything that looks like 5.5, 6% unemployment. it is a very counterproductive move. one more thing, dagen. one thing if you did this and you suffered the job loss and you somehow helped poor people. but 80% of minimum-wage workers are not living in poverty.
11:46 am
they get the raise. this does not add up going through the numbers. dagen: what would you do to help the working poor? >> first we have to grow better. we have to stop the set of policies that rely on fake taxes, regulation and impede the ability of the private sector to create jobs because those jobs are going to be the heart of higher wages. the second thing get people into work. the minimum-wage gets people out of work. get people into work. that is where poverty goes down, when people are working. dagen: thank you. connell: interesting data talking about the market. alan greenspan on. with that as the backdrop, investor confidence. this tracks the appetite for

risk. appetite for risk. in november showed retail investors may be driving the last leg of the 2013 gold run. talked about it today, pointing out the retail investors make some big mistakes along the way as they jump in. some different questions for the head of research and advisory, she joins us now from boston. the questions related to these institutional investors. we talked about the retail side of it. what are the institutions doing right now? >> glad to be on. the state street investor confidence index is really focus on institutional buying and selling, not opinion. the big headline we have got this month is european investment confidence after ratcheting up for several months and actually peeking out last month over mid-2007 levels has pulled back over 10 points, we
11:48 am
are now in basically risk neutral territory. connell: that is european side of it. it'll be interesting people haven't heard it yet what greenspan had to say about whether the bubble atmosphere out there. what about here in the united states? anything that stands out? >> really last month was the tale of two regions because as we were seeing the europeans with a very high sentiment. in the u.s. we saw a big retrenchment, we went from sort of a risk neutral stance in the u.s. to something that was an index of about 85, so very low. really it is saying a lot about policy uncertainty. institutional investors in the u.s. were reacting certainly to some of the issues in washington and the budget debate. connell: which we'll talk about at nausea him.
11:49 am
we will go through another round of that, thank goodness. >> come january. connell: this is the most part looking backward at that as opposed to being predictive of the futures, is that fair? >> it is fair to say this is how they are voting, not what they say they are doing. and so it is tracking what is really happening. in the u.s. i would say we do know investors are institutional investors are still somewhat underweight their position in u.s. equities, so although retail investors tend to get in toward the end, the data will show that. but institutions still have some reallocation to do toward the u.s. we will see whether or not that happens. connell: that is interesting. a lot of different sized to this.
11:50 am
that is why do so tough to figure out what the market will do. thank you for joining us with these numbers, appreciate it. >> thank you. dagen: new jersey goes gambling. (announcer) scottrade knows our clients trade and invest their own way. with scottrade's smart text, i can quickly

12:03 pm
john schumer, i disagree with him, this is a good deal, six months deal that expires ended it is not a good play with in six months the deal is done. dennis: iran is coming to the negotiating table and because the sanctions hurt so bad. we are willing to lift the sanctions and allow them to stay where they are. >> it lowers in richmond to 5%. it is not staying where they are. it lowers the enrichment and again if iran does not play properly in six months the deal is done. dennis: what about the notion we shouldn't trust, all. they are liars and they hate us and >> what is the alternative? >> further sanctions. >> to lower enrichment in return for a using sanctions. dennis: back to republican overture. at some point doesn't the president get helped by trying to win over the enemy? a trust him. >> mitch mcconnell says get him out of office, you have them renouncing his deal with iran

12:06 pm
peter: he stopped by to talk about his new book the man and the territory. good at connecting the dots on what happened in the financial crisis, lessons learned as what he is trying to talk about in the book but i did ask him about the markets right now and as you recall in 1996, the chairman famously talked about irrational exuberance going into the dot.com bubble. price-to-earnings ratio is 20. to the depending which when used it is 16, 18, 19. are the markets bubbly now? are we getting a little bit of rationally exuberant these days in equities? here's what he said. >> remember that price-earnings ratio is only part of the evaluation process. what economists do is calculate the equity premium comment and the equity premium is a measure of what the average investor requires as a rate of return to
12:07 pm
invest in common stocks. jpmorgan his estimate is the best annual event of that particular statistic fairly recently a year or two ago had the highest equity premium in 50 years. that meant stocks were extremely undervalued. end back significantly since if you look at the equity premium it has come down. it is well off of its peak but still way beyond normal. there is still that support, but obviously, we are now no longer at the peak where it sort of is like shooting fish in a barrel. now there's a problem in the short-term forecasting, to say that the market is bubbly and
12:08 pm
the position where it could conceivably waiting to start a serious problem is overstating it. >> wanted to ask about current monetary policy, the fed's 3 don't -- $3 trillion of bond buying, quantitative easing, how is trying to exit that, manage interest-rate expectations and all he would say is it is an experiment. the thing is going to work? he says i hope it does but i will wait and see. tracy: that was pretty telling. great interview. let's look at reaction. we will bring in san sobel, chief equity strategist and fox business contributor charles payne. i felt that was pretty telling when peter asked about quantitative easing, he said was an experiment and he hopes to work, fingers crossed, over the shoulder, do whatever you do to wish us all good luck. >> actually yes because it has
12:09 pm
not been tried before. we are dealing with 0 interest rates, we need to have no alternatives in which to stimulate the economy so we had q e 3 for a while land investors seem to like it. we have a bit of euphoria in the market once they decided to delay the tapering until who knows when, standard and poor's economic would operate independently of this in the capital iq thinks they could do it in december, we could see the first capering take place sometime next month and if not then just gets delayed until the first quarter but they are going to definitely be pulling back the stimulus sometime next year. tracy: what happens to this market? it is not bubbly. >> interesting thing. there was an article yesterday about maybe the fed trying to go -- 25 basis points, going to
12:10 pm
zero completely or a negative number. this way forcing banks to loan money. tracy: low enough to force them now? charles: is not forcing them. they have a pretty good deal on their hands and alan greenspan talked about that. they put it on deposit with the fed and is is a small interest rate but they get something back and can ride this out until they get the business they want, better gdp. as far as tapering them, greenspan, nothing to go on with capering, i do know i have studied in the past when the fed made sharp changes in their policy and the last week to bull run's we sought temporary pullbacks, a lot of people in the market because of the fed, let them come out, we saw both times the rally resumes for many months. in one instance over 40 months and one was 70 months. huge moves after they began to raise rates. tracy: sometime next year. before it will be earliest march at best.
12:11 pm
tracy: what do you think? you have seen in your research the fed chair changes ten years, knew person comes in the market school back a little on that as well. >> certainly charles, there's a possibility that the fed waits until march, that is what consensus is saying, based on the data, there's not enough to convince them to start raising or capering now. historically the first three months of but new fed chairperson's tenure in office the market declined 1.5%. you take out alan greenspan the number pops back up to plus 1 person so it is an urban legend that basically says the market gets a little worried when we have a change of did leadership the market declines. actually 54% of the time, pretty much like flipping a coin.
12:12 pm
charles: alan greenspan, infamous or famous to benign your deck of view. tracy: potentially being blamed. charles: that was in 1996, december of 1996. the market was rationally exuberant for another three years. trying to pinpoint the top even when the maestro tried it is difficult to do. tracy: what do widefor the end of the year? people are going to get some year end bonuses money in the market are out? >> does back into the market or continues into the market, a look back to world war ii and said any time we had a year to date rise of 15% or more through the end of november what happens and interesting lead the market has continued to rise a little more than 2% and did so more than 70% of the time. the odds favor a continued advance through the rest of the year. tracy: like our own statistics

medical device ever as risky as a pacemaker implanted inside your chest. during it is. the fda is ticked off that they started selling this without bowling before the fda. when accused it isn't a medical device. get out of a way of the data revolution. tweet me at dennis kneale. is the fda right to interfere with your personal dna testing? tracy: no. there's your answer. your utility bill is something that bud you, but the need too. we have one company giving you power over your provider. jack frost, looking to throw a big wrench in your thanksgiving plan. latest on the storm before you head to the airport. be prepared to shower in this income but first , here is how the world currencies are favoring against the u.s. dollar. we will be right back. we went out and asked people a simple question:

12:25 pm
carolinas, tennessee and the mid-atlantic. we want to focus on the center of the storm, that is where the worst conditions will be and that will be in the northeast until we head overnight tonight into tomorrow and we are going to be seeing gusts, 50 miles per hour, heavy rain, even four inches of rain out there and the snow and the interior side of the storm, parts of west virginia, ohio, western pennsylvania, upstate new york, 6 to 12 inches of snow possible in spots. a lot to track with the storm. tracy: god has amazing timing, planning these storms. thank you very much. dennis: d-day, the latest on the blanket of nasty weather threatening holiday travel plans for millions of people across the country and team coverage of the looming holiday travel nightmare. casey stiegel standing by at dallas-fort worth international airport to look at the fallout
12:26 pm
of airline ticket prices. we want to go to steve, live at reagan national airport outside washington d.c.. >> things are fairly good. we get a lot of nasty weather later. people traveling everything skipping and experienced problems all across the country as the storm swept across from california to the northeast. we look at pictures here, paranormal, washington national, some of the arrivals have been delayed and the departures later today could be delayed as well. so far today, let's look at 318 slides in the u.s. today, so far they're freaked because of the storm, 2,069 flights have been canceled. things here now but things could get a lot worse. listen. >> worst case scenario would be similar to what we saw two days ago where there was over a thousand, roughly a thousand canceled flights and delays,
12:27 pm
suggesting we have all travelers traveling this holiday season check early and often. basically see flights that are later canceled and get in contact with your travel agent or airline to accommodate you quickly. >> here's my colleague casey stiegel. >> happy thanksgiving. dallas was really in the same boat as you heard a couple days ago, 1,000 flights cancelled on sunday and then on monday but as of right now at this hour things pretty much back up and running. no real delays other and cancellations showing up on the board here but i have got to say other than all this mother nature headaches that have been created, aaa was projecting the number of people traveling for thanksgiving this year was going to be down, forty-four million had travel plans last year, now forty-three million have plans this year. analysts say on average air fares up 7%, hotels about 10%.
12:28 pm
then you mix that in with the current economic uncertainty. listen. >> there's the issue of the government shutdown legit weighed heavily on people's mind and not just the last shutdown, but about the decisions that have been deferred to january. americans are aware of that and it creates a sense of uncertainty that has negatively impacted travel plans. >> not everything went up, rental cars a bit cheaper according to aaa and the average price for a gallon of gasoline is down roughly $0.13 across the nation so if time allows it might be easier to take a road trip instead of traveling by air. dennis: thank you very much. tracy: road trip with the sled may be. or both.

12:34 pm
yesterday, joined as with the slowdown based on what you saw and heard yesterday, is he ready to sell? >> glen ridge is leading after 41 years in the cable industry, has seen everything, someone who can be described as a pioneer. he said something to me he said on the earnings call which was consolidation can be a good thing but terms matter. dennis: he has seen back consolidation. >> it was shaped by two big corporate -- in 2000. >> he looks at those as a very lopsided investors and i think he would do would deal with the price is right but the way these stocks have performed already, there has to be a hefty premium paid. dennis: even though stocks have
12:35 pm
been a. glen britain may not be in control, he leaves at the end of december and the chief operating officer is going to be ceo. would he sell these things? >> those guys are of a like mind. one of the smartest guys in the industry. i think the board is going to give rob a chance to do his best. i think rob wants to run that successfully. dennis: has been waiting to take over. a special source of yours, john malone, you wrote a biography of him several years ago. john malone is the guy to decide what happens next. >> he is a creative financial engineer and an aggressive dealmaker and someone once described rupert murdoch as the shark. if rupert murdoch's the shark than john malone is an alligator because he will sit in the mud and wage and for the right

12:37 pm
the number-1 thing driving all of this right now is the cost of programming. the ball cost of wholesale programming, the growth rate is higher and retail and. dennis: the price increase >> that is correct. that is almost unsustainable. what can stop that? scale economics. dennis: for cloud to concept with those providers and keep their price lower. the big question i'm wondering is how do you see this coming down a year from now? time warner cable independent or a drink on someone else's charm bracelet? >> don't make me guess this. john malone is a patient man and if it doesn't happen now, i think he will get what he wants but there has always thin a tremendous amount of consolidation in the industry and we have seen these companies can be successful standing on
